Check your steering box (shake the wheel and have someone listen at the pitman arm), if the internals are getting loose that could cause the wobble. anything in the steering could cause a wobble lke that, and keep in mind that as you change one part you may induce the problem in another that was weak but not the weakest part until you changed something. you can chase your tail all around the front end if its been a while since anything has been changed.
DONT BUY CHEAP PARTS if you put parts master parts in your upgraded suspension you will continue to put them in.
bump steer is primarily from a toe in or toe out condition in the alightment. if can also come from extremely bad tie rods but it usually not as bad as alignment issues.
